Hauppauge drivers

[erdeidominik99]

Hello! I have a Hauppauge WinTV QuadHD pcie adapter, and I would like to run it in a CT, the drivers are only available for ubuntu (https://hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_linux.html#ppa), how can I install it to debian?

Have you considered using a full VM (with Ubuntu) and do a PCI passthrough to the VM? That might be easier than getting the drivers working in a container which is using the host servers kernel.

Yes, I tried it, that's how it now works, but I get a lot of continuity errors, and I read that some people also get these errors and with container there are no errors.

Hello, could you provide some details on how you managed to get it passed trough to a VM? I also tried that but at best was able to see the tuner in Plex and the entire machie woulf freeze when i start a scan. My machine is capable of pci passtrough and i had two videocards allocated to the plex vm (first a p400 and later a p2000). Going with the LXC containter also yielded no results.
